FedRAMP
Win federal business with FedRAMP certification.
FedRAMP is required for cloud products and services that store, process, or transmit federal information for federal agencies.
If your company provides cloud services to federal agencies or plans to do so, A-LIGN guides you through the entire process, from readiness to certification, tailored to fit your business needs.
Earn FedRAMP certification with a top assessor
As a CSP, you must implement the appropriate FedRAMP controls before the certification process can begin.
As an accredited FedRAMP 3PAO (Third Party Assessment Organization) and one of the top three FedRAMP assessors in the world, we help organizations achieve both FedRAMP Ready status and full certification.
The benefits of FedRAMP certification:
- Enables your organization to do business with the Federal government
- Proves that you meet federal requirements for cloud services
- Satisfies multiple federal requirements with one FedRAMP assessment
FedRAMP services
Readiness assessment
We review your environment and determine if it is technically capable of meeting FedRAMP requirements, resulting in a FedRAMP Readiness Assessment Report (RAR). Use it to understand your technical gaps or submit it to FedRAMP to earn the “Ready” designation on the Marketplace.
Security assessment
We assess your controls against FedRAMP requirements at the class level your business requires: Class B (Low), Class C (Moderate), or Class D (High).
Annual assessments
Certification is not a finish line. We perform recurring assessments to keep your FedRAMP certification current, including penetration testing, select control assessments, and system scanning, all scoped to FedRAMP’s requirements as they evolve.
Significant change assessments
When your environment changes in ways that affect your certification, new services, new infrastructure, or a major architecture shift, we assess the impact and document it for FedRAMP. The program is moving from Significant Change Requests to Significant Change Notifications, and we support you on the process you’re on today and the one you’re moving to.
FedRAMP 20x
FedRAMP 20x is the program’s next-generation path to certification, built for speed. It replaces the document-heavy traditional process with automated, continuously validated evidence.
Where the classes stand today:
- Class A: a transitory entry point
- Class B (Low): generally available
- Class C (Moderate): in pilot
- Class D (High): available through Rev 5 today
20x fits cloud-native providers that can produce and maintain that evidence. If you don’t have the capacity in-house, we’ll connect you with the right readiness partner while A-LIGN stays independent as your assessor.
A-LIGN’s audit management platform is itself FedRAMP 20x certified, so your assessment runs on a platform that has been through the process it’s assessing you against.
